Apple iPhone 3G still lacking features

Fundamentally, this new iPhone feels very much like the old iPhone. It’s apparently lighter than the old one by a minuscule amount, but in my hand it didn’t feel any different from the current iPhone. The biggest cosmetic changes are on the back panel, which is now shiny plastic instead of metal. The back panel is curvier than the one on the current iPhone, and the recessed headphone jack has been replaced with one which lies flush with the iPhone’s body, meaning the days of iPhone headphone adapters are gone forever. (Unless you want to use a microphone with a clicker, in which case you’ll still need one!)

The iPhone 3G’s edge buttons are now silver metal, rather than the black plastic on the current model. The buttons had a sharper edge than I’m used to, though I only pushed them a couple of times.

Apple won’t be providing detailed map data for the iPhone, instead relying on data streamed over digital networks from Google’s servers. Into this breach will most likely step third-party software developers: in fact, GPS-maker TomTom says it’s already got iPhone GPS software ready to go, and I’d expect a lot more competition in this area too, providing features like audio feedback and detailed maps that can be pre-loaded on the iPhone, so if your data connection vanishes, you can still find your way.

Some of the lacking features are no native voice dialing , fumbling with your phone at 60 mph is definitely distracting!. This especially true with an iPhone which ideally requires two hands to use until the call is connected.

Also, no one mentioned the still obvious lack of a flash for the camera and no external storage for all of the new applications you going to want to run. Surely they could have made room for a micro SD.

Tried browsing through the specifications within the post [ Hands on with iPhone 3G ] and on apple site at the moment, but still no sign of Adobe Flash or Flash Lite player. There might be a possibility it will be available as download.
